Review: Shallow Creek by Storgy
It was Spring in a sleepy little town when I finished reading Storgy's Shallow Creek. I sat back from the glaring digital screen, hollows where youthful eyes had once been. Youthful. I scorn the word. Younger than I am now. To read this collection is to step outside of time, to travel across something of indeterminable depth, to glimpse things in the crevasses and folds, the cracks and tears; things which are better left unseen.
I wax poetical, but I said that I would set pen to paper and review the collection, this testimony to all Shallow Creek is, was, and might be. Firstly, I should say it is more like a multi-authored novel than a collection, stories carefully placed to tell a single – if treacherous – narrative. The editors Tomek, Ross and Tony are to be commended for their Herculean effort in assembling and editing these tales to make them into a singular yet fragmented tale.
Each story is accompanied by dazzling artwork by Michael To. These pieces are truly exquisite dark illustrations that often bring the images and metaphors at the heart of these stories to life. Michael has a way of synthesising two dispirit images that brings new meaning: a home springing from the curve of anchor, a bleeding rollercoaster, a mouth fountaining liquid…
The stories have been arranged, like the studded gems of a crown, in specific order. Characters waltz into the story, only to vanish and re-appear like ghosts; some commit terrible sins but are never punished; some seem to suffer grandly but never lose their ever-too-wide smile. Each story focuses in on a moment, a shining jewel-like moment, but with the close of each story these moments fade as the focus shifts. It is like surveying the town through a microscope, the lens only able to focus on one microcosm at a time. As it moves, you yearn for it to linger, to spend more time unravelling the delicate story it burningly fixes on, but move on it must, revealing new insights.
Our story starts with Dave Danvers' Last Foray Into All Things Woo Woo by Stuart Croskell. This brilliant introductory story has been well chosen, opening with a man driving into Shallow Creek, treating us to a panoramic view of its squalid infamy. The story's premise is at once meta- and original: a paranormal TV show host arrives in Shallow Creek in order to write a story about the town. Over the years, his belief in the supernatural has waned: 'No bigfoot, no spooks, no little green men. The bastards. Only us. Us. Jesus.' The twist of horror in the final line, in realising we are only alone with ourselves, and that humans are perhaps the worst monster of all, is deftly and subtly done. Our protagonist, Dave Danver, must go to Devil's Gorge to write his story. As we follow him on his strange journey to the Devil's Gorge summit via immaculate prose, the story gains Stoker-esque qualities – introducing us to enigmatic characters galore, bated-breath conspiracy, and the horrifying motif of a forced smile. The ending is nothing short of cathartic and sets the tone for the whole collection as one that aims to not just scare us, but also make us weep with epiphany. It's here we first meet Krinkles the Klown, but it sure as hell isn't the last time we see him.
Throughout Shallow Creek, we see nods to the old masters of horror like Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, and there is something jubilant in that. However, there is also something fresh here. In Behind These Eyes by Alice Noel, we see juxtapositions of old-school horror vibes, an almost Victorian macabre storytelling, with the modern and comical: 'Gothic is so in this year.' Shallow Creek is a commentary on how just because we make fun of the oldest horrors in the book, it doesn't mean they aren't still scary.
The Soil of Stonier Hearts by Erik Bergstrom is another masterful blend of the old and new. Employing a poetic style throughout much akin to the glorious and rich elegance of Edgar Allan Poe, with brilliantly controlled language, Erik effortlessly invokes the Gothic aesthetic. The story is loaded with intriguing turns of phrase, as twisted as the nature of the town: a 'phantom drunkenness' haunting characters, suggesting that the line between supernatural and psychological is thin. With such fine writing, the smallest details become potential portents: "Something's wrong with our soil, Gordy." Jed heard the short echo of his voice in Gordon Anderson's answering machine.' This story is part The Omen, photos revealing mysteries and prophecies, and part The Happening, with moments of shocking inevitability.
This is also the story, the fourth in the collection, where things begin to interconnect. The events of Devil's Gorge resonate here with what is going on in St Mary's Cemetery. But who can say if these things are all happening in the same universe? Even the inhabitants of Shallow Creek are not to be trusted on that front.
Janet's Vision of Love by Tom Heaton pushes the boundaries of what we will believe, offering us a story that is surreal and Twin Peaks-esque. It's in every detail down to the inept law enforcement, the slightly off-kilter banter, and the characters that intentionally don't seem to fit. The story is peppered with threatening and psychedelic imagery: 'the occasional prophylactic wrapped around a fern like some species of woodland jellyfish' This tale is truly a vision: of horror, consumerism, with a repeated line that genuinely sent chills along my arms. It transitions from a Lynchian creepy-town mystery to full-fledged Night Shift Stephen King horror. A triumph, to say the least.
Anchor by Marion Coleman offers us something a little different, a strong first person voice that seems meek at first but actually proves to be quite cunning and determined. Throughout this story I could not help but think this entire collection feels like it is building up to Krinkles the Klown. Storgy set up the dominoes oh so long ago with their character sheets and essays of one Mallum Colt, sparking the imagination in writers. They are at once homaging Stephen King's Pennywise in Krinkles, but also taking him on, showing a modern and complex character that is his own unique brand of horror. This story ends with a brilliant subversion of desire, where our 'hero' gets what they want, but not in the way they think.
'I met myself in Silverpine Forest. And I'll never forget his grin.' Some lines grab you by the throat, and this is one of them. It is the opening sentence of Backwards by Adrian J. Walker. This story almost has a True Detective feeling: A quest for a missing girl; A sheriff lost in his own failings; The sense of a secret about the town, and aid found in unlikely places, such as Mallum Colt himself. This line reminded me of a nonsense rhyme that has long haunted my dreams: As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. Backwards proves a convergence point for many stories and people in the world of Shallow Creek: Chelsea, Janet Lopez, the secrets of the forest… It introduces us to a Gothic trope as old as sin and also recently explored in Jordan Peele's much anticipated Us: that of doppelgängers and parallel worlds.
The whole collection has the feel of a paranormal documentary gone wrong and off the rails, a documentary about the making of a documentary in which the paranormal activity suddenly becomes real and the presenters look sideways at the camera wondering whether a terrible, terrible practical joke has just been played. Some of the horror here hits hard, unflinchingly hard, but it is done not for shock value but to reality-check us to the world. We are told: 'Her daughter couldn't sleep… not because of memories or nightmares, but because she couldn't expel the taste from her mouth.' All of this culminates in a surprisingly redemptive and hopeful ending. Shallow Creek, bleak as it is, still harbours the human spirit. It is in every page of writing in this tome.
My mind boggles at the complexity of the interwoven plots. It isn't just ordering the events into a logical continuum. There are subtle thematic and internal threads that are drawn throughout, such as Janet Lopez's repressed sexuality, and the repeated and weird motif that Sister Augustine has not aged, which at some point starts to become sinister. We slowly unearth more details about Sister Augustine in Heather Cuthbertson's Secret Ingredient which are alarming to say the least.
Shallow Creek is not just horror. Nor is it mystery. It is a hybrid that slips into whatever genre it feels will best unnerve you. So, with Brian Wilson's Distraction, it slides into neo-noir. A midnight meeting at a pier with a dark becomes transcendentally significant. There are shades of Christopher Nolan's cinematic masterpiece Memento here as Brian Wilson elegantly explores the things we do for peace of mind through the motif of a needle and nightdress. He describes a 'seven eyed beast' that is actually the light of seven cigarettes in the dark. It becomes like a biblical allusion to the Beast of Revelations. The cigarette butts light the gloom, but they are not hopeful. The narrator counts them again and again as one by one they are extinguished. What are we counting down to? Suspense and terror meet here. We are told by the narrator: 'I had no intention of putting my family's life in the hands of a man who professed to hear voices.' Yet the narrator himself seems semi-delusional, unreliable, not quite honest with himself. We all hear voices, in fact. We're all insane.
This is as much a commentary on the stories we tell ourselves as it is on religion. Wilson weaves a masterful tapestry here, tying the cigarettes directly into the tragedy at the heart of the story, the 'filthy habit'. Now, our narrator Maurice has a new filthy habit, his addiction to a syringe filled with a nameless substance. This story is a flawless dovetailing of ideas. Just as the cigarettes remind our Maurice of his flaw, so too do they literally resurrect that which he has lost. The final two cigarettes become the eyes of someone we might just know… As they haunted Maurice, so they will haunt us in the future.
There are so many gems in this collection, I can scarcely catalogue them all. And the World Fades to Black by Adam Lock gives us Groundhog Day but with a sinister twist. It made me realise that so many moments in Shallow Creek are defined by fixations on talismanic objects. Trapped in a moment. Trapped in a grave mistake. This is where horror is so profound, it reflects out self-inflicted psychological punishment.
The Lurid Trance by Gregg Williard, as well as offering us some of the most disturbing artwork in the whole collection, gives us something different. It is about the betrayal of memory. And tardigrades. The premise runs so: someone takes credit for an artist's work from forty years ago and sends them the envelope. This is a fascinating narrative hook that quickly becomes an esoteric, surreal descent into lost identity. 'Hard to say how many of the town are descendants of the pseudo psychos.' Each part of Shallow Creek feels like an attempt to describe exactly what Shallow Creek is. As this story moves towards one of my favourite tropes, that of the 'lost film', we are treated to a list of insane movie titles, an exercise in Nate Crowley-esque catalogue, except when I typed the titles in Google, there were actual results. It's as though Shallow Creek is coming alive. The research Gregg Williard has done to achieve this (or perhaps it is merely a field of study for him and he knows?) is staggering. The faux manifesto for the eponymous movie The Lurid Trance, which lies at the heart of this disturbing meta-story, is exquisitely observed: a satire of film critique as well as a disturbing portent of what's to come.
Throughout the stories of Shallow Creek we encounter more and more of the mythos of Krinkles, as well as old VHS tapes and unanswered questions. In places the descriptions of Shallow Creek are Melville-esque, unbelievably lavish, such as in Knock, Knock, Knuckle Bone by Allyson Kersel. We are told of one Shallow Creek regular Angus Runt: 'Runt will have an opinion and, whether informed or fabricated, it's bound to be interesting.' In a way, this reflects the entire meaning of Shallow Creek. We cannot verify any of these stories. They shift even as the townspeople shift, as we slip into one multi-verse and out of another. But regardless, it sure as hell is going to be interesting.
In places, Shallow Creek is downright experimental. David Hartley's masterpiece Pentameter is one such example, the entire thing written in iambic pentameter stanzas rounded off with rhyming couplets. At first, I railed against this form, but the conceit for this device was too well thought out to ignore it. The Lighthouse Keeper thinks in pentameter because he finds comfort in Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, which have helped him cope with profound loss. This leads to moving moments of poetry amidst prose:
I sprawl back on our steps and think of you.
My Molly, who always knew what to do.
"Arkady," I say, "yes." The asylum,
where old Jud was zapped into this shadow.
Jud, the Lighthouse Keeper, believes that Shakespeare is speaking to him through the walkie talkie. As we move towards the conclusion of this tale, we will see more and more evidence that someone may well be manipulating Jud. It all ends with a terrible threat which is Shakespearean in itself, recalling the ending of Twelfth Night, where the shamed Malvolio claims he will be 'revenged on the whole pack of you'. This was certainly one of the most unexpected and hair-raising stories in the collection.
There is something for everyone here in Shallow Creek, including black humour, which is expertly employed by Sarah Lotz in The Eyes Have It, the title a pun in and of itself. We're told: 'The town was the kind of place where you could get away with murder. He'd done it to free himself up to see his girlfriend at the time.' It makes us laugh, but it's also frightening, how casual people can be when referring to murder. Our journey through Shallow Creek desensitises us, but Sarah Lotz brings us back around again, 'waking us up' to the horror of what we're seeing. Towards the end of the collection, a new theme emerges, that of forgiveness and whether we even can be forgiven, by human or divine. Lotz takes us on a rollercoaster ride: a bleak quest that is Dexter meets Frankenstein, an exploration of our deepest existential dreads and spiritual fears. It is a paedophile on mission from God, or rather, to cheat God's will, and in doing so, kill a whole load of sinners in very satisfying ways. Interspersed with some very real theology are observations so darkly witty they make me a little crazy: The notes were signed 'Dr Ruth Usiskin', the facility's psychologist, who clearly wasn't averse to doodling on her reports. In the margin, next to 'sexual deviant', she'd drawn a smiley face.'
Shallow Creek is a celebration of genre fiction, but it also proves that the distinctions between 'literary' and 'genre' are not only arbitrary but unnecessary. In Aliya Whiteley's The Alteration we see a staggering portrait of what it is like to have a relationship with someone who is a compulsive liar and losing their mind. Madeleine, bound to a wheelchair, confesses to murders which Ruth, her carer, does not believe, but slowly but surely, we sense the terrible coming of 'the change'. We're told 'Books had stories in them, and my mother said all stories were lies.' – I think this includes the stories we tell ourselves.
So much of Shallow Creek revolves around the act of finding something that should not be found, whether it be as simple as a wedding ring, or as controversial as a licentious VHS tape. Shallow Creek is a library located in some near-unreachable place, some deep place, far from the crowds and sanitising technology. Within this library are forbidden stories. Profane tales. Tales that can scarcely be given credence, yet they ring true. Why are we so fascinated by darkness? It's a question that keeps being asked in this collection, but never more potently than in Andrea Hardaker's The Fulmar's Cry: 'She relocated to a small town out west, accepted a job in a store, re-built her life. But all that did was trigger a different unexpected issue. Despite everything—she missed the terror.'
While Shallow Creek feels eternal, all stories need an end. The final story, The Caged Bird Sings in a Darkness of Its Own Creation, by Richard Thomas, feels like the culmination of the entire collection. I am biased as a huge fan of Richard's work, but he genuinely pulls out all the stops in this Lovecraftian tale. In it, he shows us Krinkles as an old man, staring out at us from his ramshackle hut in the heart of the woods, a figure of ague and remorse, of dark hilarity and mirthless terror. There are so many unsettling details here. Why is Krinkles vomiting up balloons, marbles, and other items? Why is he keeping what might be a child's heart in a jar? Why do six figures – 'tall shadows' – pray outside his hut in the dark? And why is the time of his departure near? There is a religious reverence in the way Richard describes the scene, a kind of sacred wonder at the horror of it all. Like Krinkles' audience, we await the dreaded punchline with what is tantamount to agony.
This tale is about sin too, and about the price we pay to get what we want: 'Eventually, it was inverted. Not the death of one for the good of many, but the opposite—the death of many for the good of one. Or the few.'
It is a dark creation story, delving into the origin of all myths. Richard peels back the layers, gives us an almost glacial sequence of images that lead to revelation, like the atom-bomb episode of the third season of Twin Peaks, yet he condenses that extended form into something comparatively microscopic – the prose is so controlled. At the end, we are left with a sense of the entirety of what has happened, something bargained, something lost, something dark and terrible learned. He re-writes the entire script of what we think we know about Shallow Creek, and shows us a side of Krinkles we could not have ever anticipated. Richard may not be as prolific as Stephen King, but his work is just as memorable.
In all its horror, and all its glory, this collection has captured the spirit of my mucilaginous hometown.
Oh, didn't I say?
I was born and raised in Shallow Creek. I live in the flat above Croskell's pornography store. And before then, I lived in the caves that run deep beneath the old bones of the settlement. And before then… well. Not many in the town know me. I am something of a recluse. I have lived in Shallow Creek a long, long time as I've said. Too long, by any reckoning. I've thought many times about moving on to other cities, those teeming millions just so tempting, like a ripe fruit full of sugary, sweet juices. But if the people here loathe and distrust me, then elsewhere, I stand very little chance of going unnoticed.
But I grow tired of hiding. My kind are a dying kind. I might even be the last one. What would be the use of passing from ageless history unremembered? One last act of glory, then. I will draw them to us as moths to a flame! My light! My blinding true form!
Come then ye curious souls! Follow my light. Pour in your millions down to Shallow Creek. Follow my good friend Mallum Colt, whom I call the Pied Piper, down to the rancid streets and silver trees and stagnant waters – to the stones that smell of secrets – and I promise you shall see wonders like you have never seen before.

Honolulu, HI (April 3, 2014) – Bring on the Crown Jewel! Stop No. 5 of the Asia-Pacific Tour takes XTERRA to the beautiful island of Saipan in the Northern Marianas – the sports original exotic destination.
XTERRA first ventured to Saipan in 2002, and 13-years later is still taking racers through caves where Japanese soldiers hid and fought from during the Battle of Saipan in 1944.
Some of the sports' best all-time stories originated in Saipan, from an exploding neighbor island volcano that painted the sky black with ash during the middle of the day to the tsunami threat following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that played tricks with the ocean currents.
Triathlete Magazine called it one of the 'World's Best" races in 2011. Richard "Doc" Wall saved a man's life in the middle of the race one year. New York Times bestselling author Marty Dugard wrote about his adventures at XTERRA Saipan in his book, To Be A Runner.
At XTERRA Saipan, the race starts on the same beach where Marines launched their attack in '44, then the bike course traverses nearly every inch of the island where the battles took place. At the American Memorial Park Museum, many who visit watch a heart-wrenching video on how it all went down, and then walk somberly through the interactive displays.
A worthy international elite field is in Saipan to experience that fun along with Saturday's championship event, highlighted by Dan Hugo and Ben Allen for the men; Renata Bucher and Jacqui Slack for the women.
Hugo has been on fire in 2014, winning all three majors he raced at – South Africa (Feb. 23), Philippines (March 15), and Guam (March 29). Allen is fresh off a W at his home country race – the XTERRA Great Ocean Road off-road tri in Australia – and won this race each of the last two years.
Other contenders for the men include 4x Saipan Champ Olivier Marceau representing Switzerland, South Africans Bradley Weiss (2nd in Guam) and Nico Sterk (4th in Guam), Kiwis Olly Shaw (3rd in Guam) and Mark Leishman, Markus Benesch from Austria, Michal Bucek from Slovakia, and Charlie Epperson from the U.S.
In the women's race Bucher is shooting for her 8th Saipan title in 10 years but will have to contend with defending champ Jacqui Slack from Great Britain – who just won in Australia last weekend, along with Carina Wasle from Austria and former Saipan resident Mieko Carey.
Read what some of the pros had to say in this preview from Roselyn Monroyo of the Saipan Tribune.
Note: Saipan is located in the middle of the Western Pacific Ocean – 1,300 miles south of Tokyo, 1,400 miles east of Manila, 3,200 miles west of Honolulu, and 2,900 miles north of Sydney. It offers up azure colored water, a powder blue sky, light island breezes, and tropical 85-degree days prevail year-round providing the perfect venue for XTERRA. The race consists of a 1.5-kilometer ocean swim, a 30km mountain bike that climbs 1,500 feet to the highest point on the island, and an epic 12km trail run that weaves through heavy jungle and into caves used during World War II.

Perhaps the most caustic anti-Republican riff came from Al Gore.
It then refused, as it refused in 1848, to be a party to an anti-French or anti-republican coalition.
He lifted his hand to his hat, in a most anti-republican style, and stammered out something indistinctly.
It was uncertain whether the movement would declare itself anti-foreign or anti-Christian, anti-dynastic or anti-Republican.
If this be their purpose, their anti-republican spirit, it ought to be met at once.
Sir, the gentleman from South Carolina says many oppose a navy, because they deem it an anti-republican institution.

Die Tschadische Fortschrittspartei (, Abkürzung PPT) war von Januar 1962 bis Juni 1973 die einzige zugelassene Partei im Tschad.

Geschichte
Die PPT wurde 1946 unter anderem von Gabriel Lisette und François Tombalbaye als Teil des westafrikanischen Rassemblement Démocratique Africain des ivorischen Félix Houphouët-Boigny gegründet. Die Partei war von Anfang an dominiert von Menschen aus dem südlichen Tschad (Animisten und römisch-katholische Christen). 1957 wurde Lisette der Vorsitzende des PPT und Ministerpräsident vom Tschad. 1959 legte Lisette seine Stellung als Parteivorsitzender nieder und wurde ersetzt von François Tombalbaye, dem es auch gelang, Ministerpräsident zu werden. Ein Jahr später gründete Tombalbaye die unabhängige Republik Tschad mit einem Präsidenten. 1962 machte er einen Einparteienstaat aus dem Tschad.

Präsident Tombalbaye schaffte im Juni 1973 die PPT ab – wegen der anhaltenden Korruption in ihren Reihen, und ersetzt sie durch die Mouvement National pour la Révolution Culturelle et Sociale (MNRCS). Nach dem Putsch vom 13. April 1975 – in der Tombalbaye getötet wurde – wurde die MNRCS verboten.

Former LSU quarterback Rohan Davey encourages Joe Burrow as his records fall: 'Smash them all'
BY WILSON ALEXANDER | Staff writer
Wilson Alexander
Inside his home last Saturday, a former LSU quarterback watched one of his school records fall. He had owned it for almost two decades, but when Joe Burrow inevitably snapped it against Ole Miss, he stood up and clapped.
"I knew that record was going to get broken at the end of last year," said Rohan Davey, who played quarterback at LSU from 1998-2001.
After he assembled one of the greatest seasons in school history in 2001, Davey graduated with LSU records in single-season passing yards, completions, attempts, yards per game and 300-yard performances. He still has the Tigers' only 500-yard passing game.
But watching Burrow obliterate records this season, Davey knew when LSU played Ole Miss, his most recognizable accomplishment — the single-season yards passing record of 3,347 — would drop. Probably by halftime.
Heisman watch: The award is in LSU QB Joe Burrow's grasp if he can do these two things
For a guy who was 200-to-1 to win the Heisman Trophy this summer, Joe Burrow is a stunningly overwhelming favorite now. BetOnline.ag puts him …
Burrow entered the weekend at 3,198 yards this season despite not playing in the second half of several games. He needed 150 yards against the Rebels to break Davey's mark. He did it with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter.
A few hundred miles away in Baton Rouge, Davey gave him a standing ovation. Then, he prepared a congratulatory message, which LSU football released on its Twitter account the next day.
Davey's records have fallen, pushing his name further down the school's all-time lists, but he does not resent Burrow's accomplishments. He has enjoyed this season, one that has LSU one win from playing for the Southeastern Conference championship, as much as anyone. He wants Burrow to win the Heisman Trophy and the national championship.
"These things are meant to fall, and I'm glad that Joe is the one with the year that he's having," Davey said. "Smash them all. This is his year."
Davey and Burrow have developed a friendship and mutual respect since Burrow arrived as a transfer from Ohio State. They met through LSU's athletic trainers and coaching staff, and Davey soon noticed a quarterback who possessed traits he associated with success.
Joe Burrow Q&A: LSU quarterback on leadership, pocket presence, giving teammates the 'look'
Quarterback Joe Burrow answered questions from reporters on Monday afternoon, two days after he had broken the school record for passing yards in a season and led LSU to a win over Ole Miss.
Burrow ran sprints with skill position players. He flashed competitiveness, leadership and toughness, qualities that have launched Burrow up draft boards and to the front of the Heisman Trophy race. The first time they met, Davey told Burrow to reach 4,000 yards passing.
Davey, who played professional football and now works in sales at Sorrento Lumber while operating a catering business called Quick 6 Catering, has often stopped by the LSU football operations building this season. He and Burrow sometimes talk about football and life.
The game has changed, but Davey gives advice when he can. He also encourages Burrow — and the rest of the Tigers — to enjoy this moment. He regrets not appreciating his 2001 season enough when he lived it, and here the Tigers are, within sight of playing for titles.
"He knows anything he needs of me, he can call me and ask me and I'll do it," Burrow said. "He's a legend here. Anything he wants of me, he's got it."
In Davey's opinion, Burrow has cemented himself as the greatest quarterback in LSU history, and two games still remain in the regular season. Burrow has broken at least 10 school records and led LSU to the top spot in the College Football Playoff rankings for the first time.
Rabalais: On massive point spreads, big bad trophies and a former LSU coach's 'human' side
Notes on a golf scorecard while filling a beautiful fall day with writing and impeachment hearings instead of cursing yet another thinly-blade…
On pace for 5,530 yards and 57 touchdowns if LSU reaches the national championship, Burrow may complete the greatest statistical passing season for a quarterback in SEC history, much less at LSU. Davey's statistics, which did not include the postseason, pale in comparison. He doesn't care.
"I want to see him reap everything that he can possibly get out of this," said Davey, who booked a hotel room for the national championship over a month ago. "The No. 1 draft pick. The first quarterback taken. Everything that he's worked so very hard to get. I want him to get it all, man."
As LSU nears the end of the regular season, one of Davey's records remains untouched: 528 yards passing in a game, which he set against Alabama during his own magical year almost two decades ago.
Ed Orgeron: Michael Divinity not eligible until the national championship game
The national championship game is the earliest LSU linebacker Michael Divinity could play again, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said Wednesday morning.
Burrow has eclipsed 400 yards passing twice this season. He neared 500 against Ole Miss. And though Davey has spent a year encouraging Burrow, supporting the quarterback who has surpassed his own statistics, he felt some relief when his record stood — at least for one more game.
"Don't break them all in one game, now," Davey said, laughing. "He can break it. I have no problem with you breaking it. Just don't break them all in one game. Put me down slowly. Do it this week."

I had the most epic day of fly fishing in my life yesterday with Dave Smith and Scott Smith, two of our top guides at Grand Teton Fly Fishing. Scott is head guide and owner of the company, while Dave is a long time fish head, and probably the best fly tyer in the valley. Scott invested in a new boat built specifically for the lakes in our region. It was shipped the other day and yesterday we took her on the maiden voyage. Since Yellowstone Lake iced off earlier than expected this year due to high winds, we decided to head up there and give it a go. It was great to head north out of town and to see the snowpack progression. There's a lot of water in the mountains this year and just yesterday they bumped the flows from the dam another 4,000 CFS. It's going to be an interesting year which will shift our focus to the incredible lake fishing in the region. Lakes often have less crowds, and bigger fish generally, and there can be some incredible sight fishing opportunities. If all goes to plan I hope to be guiding lakes for the next month!
An experience we often take for granted. What an amazing thing it is to be able to recreate in our public lands. THIS LAND IS YOURS!
"Glasses Dave" One of the most talented fishing guides and fly tyers, I swear sometimes I think he has gills.
On our way up to Yellowstone National Park we breezed through the fields of wildflowers and traversed through a few high peaks. We passed Jackson lake and the upper snake river. We passed lewis falls and its confluence with the snake. We drove through some of the most beautiful meandering meadows everything bright green and lush. We even encountered a griz. When we finally put the boat in the water we made a run for a spot that Scott knew quite well. It was only my first few casts when I caught a beautiful 16 inch Yellowstone cutthroat. The next four hours were a blur. I couldn't believe how beautiful the surroundings were around us while we crept through the white sand flats where big cutthroat were swimming steadily, ready to eat anything we threw in front of them. The best rig though, was a 150 grain sinking line on a 6 weight, with smaller mohair leeches in tan, olive, and blood colors.
It took Scotty boy a while to catch up to Dave and I as we were both putting on a fly fishing clinic that day!
Yellowstone lake doubles! As fisherman we try our best to handle these fish with delicacy. Notice how we always keep the net under the fish for a picture and always try our best to keep the fish out of the water for the shortest time period possible.
Come fish the lakes with us! I can only hope to show you an incredible day like this so that just maybe you may be able to reflect and interpret the land in your own way. Because only then will you be able to protect it!

Markel, coalition party leader agree over refugee policy

Markel, coalition party leader agree over refugee policy. July. 02, 2018 07:18. by Jung-Min Dong ditto@donga.com.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her administration that faced a crisis of collapse due to her moderate refugee policy are going to escape from the worst situation.
"Sixteen EU countries have agreed to send refugees moved in Europe to the EU country of their first arrival," said Merkel in a letter to her coalition partners Saturday. Efforts to prevent refugees from entering Germany after arriving in other European country and seeking asylum have partly come to fruition even though she was not able to get an agreement of all 28 EU countries. She had to reach an agreement to prevent second migration of refugees (from other European country to Germany) to maintain coalition with the Christian Social Union (CSU) that has an anti-refugee tendency.
Merkel started a negotiation Saturday with German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer who heads the CSU. "Merkel's agreement is the right direction for Germany," said Bavarian CSU premier and an aide of Seehofer Markus Soeder, welcoming her decision. The CSU is likely to maintain its coalition with Merkel.
Anti-refugee sentiment in Europe is so strong that Merkel, an angel of refugees, has agreed to strengthen refugee control. The European Union that had been engaging in an unyielding confrontation reached an agreement in the summit ended on Friday because of the sense of crisis to prevent refugees from entering Europe.
Heads of the European Union have agreed to make entrance of refugees more difficult and exit easier. They have strengthened the EU's border control and reduce the number of refugees arriving in Europe by supporting refugees' country of origin. Moreover, they established a refugee control center in each country to streamline the process from refugee application screening to deportation.

Movement Launch
Categories // Press Releases
A Regional Initiative to Move Africa towards an Enlightenment Era is Launched in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Addis Ababa, May 9, 2011 - A regional movement to promote a development approach that is based on individual transformation and responsibility, launched in Addis Ababa on 28-29 April, enters an active phase in countries across the region this week. National coordinators in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Togo, and Uganda are working to operationalize the action plan that will anchor the Movement in their communities.
The Africa Unbound Movement was launched at the end of a two-day inaugural symposium held at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN ECA) conference center in the presence of officials from major regional organizations, senior diplomats, civil society leaders, academicians and the media.
"The Movement seeks to establish peace, prosperity and freedom in Africa through awakened and enlightened individuals," Dr. Rahel Kassahun, Founder and Executive Director of Africa Unbound, Inc., told participants at the symposium. "We will find innovative solutions to all of our problems on the continent when we start looking inward to discover our inherent talents and put them to productive use."
In a statement to the symposium, Chairperson of the African Union Commission Dr. Jean Ping pointed out, "the focus on individual responsibility and empowerment is pertinent at this time when it is critical for Africa to harness its full human potential for the development of the continent."
UN ECA Executive Secretary, Mr. Abdoulie Janneh underscored the point when he called on the Africa Unbound team "to help maximize the can-do attitude that is emerging across Africa today." "It is my hope," he said, "that your innovative and highly relevant initiative will push the levers to transform individuals who will change our continent."
Pointing to what she said was a "journey of self-discovery and change" the Executive Secretary of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) Dr. Frannie Leautier emphasized the analytical, intellectual and practical approach of the initiative which, she noted, should contribute to producing concrete results.
"It is time now to project forward... bringing on one individual at a time," said Mr. Gabriel Negatu, speaking on behalf of the President of the African Development Bank, Dr. Donald Kaberuka. "The case is strong and the time is right."
Africa Unbound Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a development approach that focuses on personal transformation by raising awareness of the responsibility and value of each person's contribution to the development process.
The Movement received strong endorsement from the US and UK Ambassadors to the African Union, the Deputy Regional Director for Africa of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and many heads of academic, civil society and media organizations from across the region.

Operational Excellence Society > Body of Knowledge > C.R.M.
OK, I didn't have the best polling demographic for my question, but if I asked two business oriented adults I would likely get two very different answers. Many of us recognize the acronym as Customer Relationship Management, but we could be talking about Cultural Resource Management or Column Radiation Model or even Composite Risk Management. So in an industry full of acronyms and buzzwords, it gets rather confusing. I often wonder if what I'm saying is what others are actually hearing. How many times have you had a conversation with someone so full of acronyms and buzzwords that you walked away wondering what that conversation was really about?
For the purposes of this article, we will stick to CRM as Customer Relationship Management. So what is CRM and why is it important? You can find several definitions , but simply put, CRM is a process. It is a way to form, foster and maintain relationships with the companies and people you do business with. It can include prospects, customers and even vendors or other associations.
CRM is also something that must be embraced by the organization as a whole as it isn't just a function of Sales & Marketing. The purpose is fairly simple; it is a way to keep people happy (if only it was so easy to accomplish.) Whatever strategy you develop, make sure you include people from all aspects of your business. The person who answers the phone will have one view which may be completely different from the guy who ships packages out the back door, but both views and inputs should be considered.
To me, CRM has to be about the relationship and it must envelop several layers. You also have to make it your own and connect on a personal level; meaning you must infuse your personality into whatever system you use. Your company may have a CRM process in place, but you should make it fit your personality. Sales reps in the same company use the same CRM software, tools and strategy, but how they manage their relationships may be entirely different. I recently visited a client for the first time. He began telling me he liked his old sales rep, but there were also things about him he didn't care for. This was great feedback and I made sure to distance myself from the negative. I'm doing my best to put him at ease and prove that I will be different.
You have to include multiple touch points to make CRM worth while. Otherwise, it is a (insert frequency/time frame here) phone call that does very little to foster the relationship. I'm not suggesting you don't have those periodic calls; just don't think that they constitute a good CRM strategy. You should utilize all the tools at your disposal to keep your connections relevant and fresh.
With CRM software, email, phone, internet, printed material, face to face meetings and more, there are enough forums to develop the right CRM strategy for any business. It doesn't have to be complex; it just needs to work for you.
Another aspect of CRM is the Analytics side. With all the different ways of reaching out and gathering information, a whole industry is out there to deal with the analysis of CRM data. You can study the analytics of web hits and click-throughs, downloads and any other movement on the web. We can track all sorts of habits and develop predictive analytic models that can (allegedly) predict future action. Technology has brought this facet of CRM to new heights, but it is all meaningless if you don't do anything with it. All the cold hard facts in the world can't shake someone's hand and chat about your business. In fact, the analysis of CRM data is so vast it could be a topic all by itself.
Having a good relationship with your customers is not an option; it is something necessary to your business. Everyone's personal style and corporate culture is different. There is no magic pill or special button on your keyboard that develops and implements your CRM strategy. The questions of how to go about forming, fostering and maintaining your relationships are up to you. If you are a member of LinkedIn (if not, join) you can find several CRM groups to join and discuss their experiences and knowledge on this broad topic.
Now, get out there and start Googling, give me a call, or email me; contact me through our website, our Portal, or even stopping by the office and I'll gladly discuss CRM with you, just not the Column Radiation Model part of it. If you're interested in that type of CRM (click here ) and maybe you could explain it to me.

Jeff "Six-Time" Stanton has been surviving the Michigan winter as only the "Rocky" of motocross would, by keeping his regular fitness and farm schedule regardless of the insanely cold conditions. We hope he thaws out a little when he heads to Daytona while racing multiple classes in the newly added Daytona Vintage Supercross at Ricky's race this year. We will get his thoughts on all of that and his always honest opinions on the new supercross racing so far.

Training workshop on "Inclusive Publishing" held for the first time in Bangladesh.
Training workshop on "Inclusive Publishing" was conducted during 15 to 17 September 2014 at the BASIS Auditorium, Dhaka. This program was conducted by the DAISY Consortium with support from WIPO and Accessible Books Consortium. The partner organizations from Bangladesh were Access to Information program, Prime Minister Office (A2I), Government of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) and YPSA. Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid handover the certificates to the trainees in the closing ceremony at the Prime Minister's Office on 18 September.
A total of 18 participants consisting of 8 representatives from commercial publishers, 6 from Governmental publishers, 4 representatives from NGO and organizations of people with disability participated in this three day intensive hands on training program. 2 observers from other commercial publishers also were present during the program. Mr. Prashant Ranjan Verma and Mr. Amit Verma from DASY consortium, India facilitated the training program.
The objective of this training program was to make the publishers aware of the lack of reading material in accessible format for persons with print impairments which include people with blindness, low vision, dyslexia, certain physical disabilities and the illiterate/low literate. The participants learnt how they can adopt inclusive publishing by making eBooks which are for everyone including people with disabilities. World over the publishing industry is in a transition stage where more and more publishers are coming out with eBook versions of their publications. If publishers take care of the accessibility requirements then all eBooks will be born accessible and there will be no need for further adaption for people with print disabilities. This can dramatically increase the availability of reading material for people with print disabilities.
The training program ended with a certificate distribution and a workshop titled 'Textbooks for visually impaired students"" at the office of Prime Minister of Bangladesh where the honorable Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid was present as the chief guest. Social Welfare Secretary Nasima Begum, chairman of National curriculum and Textbooks Board Prof Md Abul Qashem Mia and senior officials of different organizations concerned, among others, addressed the workshop.
Mr. Vashkar Bhattacharjee, Program manager of YPSA presented an accessible DAISY book (E-book) as well as he showed how to convert a document into Braille in the program.
Mr. Prashant Ranjan Verma, Consultant, Tech Support & Software Testing, DAISY Consortium presented digital accessible information system for the visually impaired and people with print disabilities in the program.

HomeUK TVReview: Doctor Who – 7×10 – Hide
Review: Doctor Who – 7×10 – Hide
…behind the sofa
22nd April 2013 Rob Buckley TV reviews, UK TV 3 Comments
In the UK: Saturday, 6.15pm, 20th April 2013, BBC1/BBC1 HD. Available on the iPlayer
In the US: Saturday, 8pm/7c, 20th April 2013, BBC America
Nigel Kneale is something of a god on this blog. A revolutionary writer of some of the best scripts in British TV history, his effect can still be felt today. One of his most powerful and influential works was The Stone Tape, a genuinely scary scientific ghost story that has leant its name to a parapsychology concept: the idea that ghosts may be 'memories' of events somehow imprinted on buildings or the landscape. When you have a mo, watch it below…
The latest piece of British TV to owe a debt to The Stone Tape was Saturday's episode of Doctor Who – Hide, which not only had a scientist investigating a haunted house with the help of scientific apparatus and a woman with psychic abilities, it was even set in the 70s.
Now, I have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect of this. On the one hand, it was written by Neil Cross, who also wrote the rather dreadful Rings of Akhaten. On the other, Cross only got the job of writing Rings, because he'd apparently impressed Steven Moffat and co with the quality of this script. Cross also has ghost-story form, having written the recent BBC2 adaptation of MR James's Whistle and I'll Come To You.
So which Cross were we going to get, I was wondering: super-scary ghost-writing Cross or sucky singing child Cross?
Thankfully, it turned out to be the former. Here's a trailer.
Something terrifying is hiding in Caliburn House and the Doctor joins the ghost hunt.
Was it any good?
Beyond a few minor criticisms, I really liked this. In fact, I came close to loving it as a proper scary ghost story that really only pulled punches because of the general age of the audience, I suspect.
There were several layers to the story, all ranging from very good to excellent (or at least as excellent as you can get in 45 minutes in a show with a mandate for action-adventure). We had the initial mystery of the 'ghost' itself, which was wonderfully handled, deploying all the television ghost story tropes available: we had the ghost only partially visible in photographs, ghost coming towards camera, ghost with smeared out or distorted face, and ghost only visible for short moments if you're paying attention. There was poltergeist action, cold spots, loud thumping noises, writing on walls, a history of hauntings in the area, unexplained changes to scientific instruments and more.
Look around and you'll spot the references, particularly to The Stone Tape, but also other stories, including Poltergeist, Ghostwatch and the best haunted house movie of all, The Haunting. It's all marvellously well done, with moments of genuine scare, although Cross used the Doctor to defuse a lot of the tension in case, I suspect, it was too frightening for younger viewers and the BBC got complaints.
The eventual revelation of what the ghost is was novel (although why the ghost should be white-faced in the photos and psychic visions, but black in reality, I can't explain). Add on the creepy monster, which was genuinely nasty-looking, and this was the definite A-plot in all senses.
The next layer was the romance between the two humans, including the surprisingly good Dougray Scott (do you remember him in Mission: Impossible 2?) With so little time to develop it, Cross still managed to make this relationship work, yet still managed to add a darker, Doctor Who undertone to it that tied into the third layer: who is Clara? With the Doctor able to travel throughout time, everyone is effectively already dead to him, so even if people do wind up together, it's just a passing moment in time to him. It's a point that doesn't get brought up very often, but Cross examined it in an adult, thoughtful and surprisingly mournful manner. It's the kind of thing Russell T Davies looked at in terms of the Doctor's loneliness, but Cross examines under the Moffat banner of 'the Doctor as alien and other'.
The mystery of Clara and the TARDIS deepens, with Cross also developing the notion mentioned in Rings that the TARDIS doesn't like Clara for some reason. It's interesting to note that the TARDIS presents Clara with a vision of herself, given that she's the woman who's died twice. Is this a hint of something deeper, I wonder?
My main criticism, although it's only a minor one, is that neither the Doctor nor Clara really feels like the character we've met before. While Clara is new so is bound to be harder to write for at the moment, the Matt Smith Doctor is more well defined but the dialogue didn't really feel Smithish.
All the same, these are minor niggles for what's been easily the best of the season so far (including the previous half, last year). Let's have more Neil Cross stories, I say – but only one a year.

How "Fresh" is Your Hotel Website?
Every year, Google makes more than 500 updates to its search algorithm. The most significant update in 2011 was the Google Panda Update, now in version 2.5, which made most hotel websites obsolete by introducing very strict requirements for content, interactivity, and page download speeds.
This required sites to generate engaging and unique website content (as opposed to bland, old and tired content) that would intrigue users and increase the site's "stickiness."
After frustrating hospitality digital marketers with the seemingly never-ending Panda update saga, Google went a step further by releasing the broadest, most-impactful algorithmic change to date, just to keep us all on our toes. Last week Google announced that they had rolled out an update now known as the "Freshness" update, which was said to affect 35% of total searches and would allow for more relevant, current information to be displayed for a bevy of high-volume search queries.
Why are these updates important for the hospitality industry? Between 50%-70% of hotel website visitors and website bookings originate as leads from the major search engines.
The update, essentially, is an amendment to the "Caffeine" update Google rolled out in 2010, whose sole purpose was to make general search queries 50 percent "fresher." So when you were searching for a sports score or who won last night's election, for example, you would be delivered the most up-to-date articles and commentary. Problem is, in only a year's time search queries have risen in number and the amount of online media continues to grow. Each story – each topical event – is being discussed, reported on, and dissected hundreds and thousands of times over, simply because the platform is available and the medium, the Internet, is effective. This is what spawned the rise of this new "freshness" update that has set off alarms from Palo Alto to the burgeoning tech hub that is New York.
So who does this new "Freshness" Update affect?
Every online entity. No longer can we truly separate a blog, a news site and a content site that offers up-to-date "local news" in the form of local events, happenings or promotions such as a hotel website.

If you pick up a melon with a strategically placed sticker, rest assured it was supposed to be there. It's the latest campaign from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
The charity has launched a cheeky grocery store campaign to remind women "don't forget to check"
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's latest campaign is one that's meant to grab your attention.
They've strategically placed small, circular, pink stickers on melons to do one thing — yes, remind you of breasts — and the need for self-examinations.
"It's funny, it's cheeky, it's a little bit irreverent," said Elaine Webb, a senior promotions director with the charity.
Each sticker is printed with the question, "Have you checked yours?" and a link to a website on breast health.
The group is using the tactic to specifically reach out to women from the ages of 25 to 39.
It's a demographic that's too young to be eligible for free regular mammograms but can be devastated by illness if it it does occur.
"While the incidents of breast cancer in younger women is lower, when breast cancer does occur it's often more aggressive," said Webb.
While some might blush at the sight of what the charity calls its "melon stunt," but they are unapologetic.
"We're trying not to cross the line to objectify women and their breasts but certainly these kinds of campaigns have worked for us in the past in that they really draw people's attention," said Webb.
The honeydews, cantaloupes and mini-watermelons with pasties can be found at Nesters Market across B.C. from November 15 to 21.

Anton Raphael Mengs (Aussig, 22 de março de 1728 — Roma, 29 de junho de 1779) foi um famoso pintor neoclássico alemão. Filho de outro pintor, foi batizado com os nomes de dois grandes artistas do Renascença italiano que seu pai admirava: Antonio Allegri, conhecido por Correggio, e Rafael.

Foi pintor da corte na cidade de Dresden a partir de 1745, e, alguns anos mais tarde, partiu para Roma, tendo como objetivo completar a sua formação, assentada basicamente no classicismo. Na Cidade Eterna, tornou-se logo uma celebridade, principalmente devido aos  retratos que produzia dos viajantes estrangeiros, especialmente ingleses. Devido ao seu ofício de retratista dos turistas, assim como sua tendência classicizante, era sempre visto como adversário de Pompeo Batoni, pintor italiano que compartilhava essas mesmas características.

Afamado em todo o continente europeu, foi convidado por D. Carlos III para trabalhar em Madrid, onde  tornou-se o o primeiro pintor do rei, renovando o panorama pictórico local, ainda muito influenciado pelo rococó de pintores como Giaquinto e Tiepolo, que também estavam na Espanha a serviço do rei. Daí em diante, viveria entre Roma e Madrid até a morte.

Foi um dos precursores do neoclassicismo e influenciou toda uma geração de artistas italianos, alemães, ingleses e espanhóis.

The celebrated 19th century artist's large-scale pièce de résistance Le Jeunesse de Bacchus will lead Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art sale on May 14.
With staggeringly large proportions (11 feet tall and 20 feet wide) and a veritable bacchanal of movement and color, William-Adolphe Bouguereau's Le Jeunesse de Bacchus (The Youth of Bacchus) is considered his most important painting. Sotheby's New York recently announced that it will auction the artwork during the Impressionist and Modern Art evening sale on May 14 with an estimate of $25-35 million.
The classically inspired work depicts a feast of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and debauchery, as maenads (Bacchus' female followers) dance in the forested setting, naked cherubs play instruments, centaurs (half man, half horse) blow on flutes and satyrs (woodland gods) cavort through the woods. An over-served Bacchus, crowned by a wreath of ivy, rides into the festivities on a donkey, supported by two of his followers. The elaborate scene features hallmarks of the works of Bouguereau, a pre-eminent 19th century painter of the Paris Salon, with his mythical subject matter, proportionate and idealized human form, and masterful command of light and color.
Close-up of man from La Jeunesse de Bacchus who measures 5 feet, 7 inches to give an idea of the scale of the work.
Bouguereau finished Le Jeunesse de Bacchus in 1884 after three years, unveiling it for the 1884 Paris Salon. It has only been exhibited a handful of times in the past 135 years: in London and Antwerp in 1885 and a century later at Connecticut's Wadsworth Atheneum in 1984-85. It has remained in the artist's Paris studio as property of Bouguereau's descendants and will head to sale for the first time ever this spring.
Benjamin Doller, Chairman of Sotheby's Americas, commented, "When you see the true majestic scale and technical brilliance of this masterpiece, you realize this is one of the greatest pictures painted in the 19th century. Its appearance on the market, something I would have only dreamed of back in 1985 [when it was exhibited in Connecticut], will present a truly singular opportunity to acquire a work that is the last and greatest of its kind." Pascale Pavageau, Head of Sotheby's 19th Century Paintings & Drawings Department, Paris, echoed Doller's sentiments, saying, "The unveiling of this icon invites a dynamic opportunity to consider the past, present and future of this composition – inspired by Classical myth and almost mythical itself. A tour de force of line and color on the grandest scale, every element compels immediate appreciation and close examination."
Self portrait, William Bouguereau. 1879, oil on canvas.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau was one of the most celebrated painters of his time, an established artist of the Paris Salon. He was born in La Rochelle, France in 1825 and displayed great talent in drawing and painting from a young age. In 1846, when he was 20, he moved to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he learned to master the style of academic painting, focusing on detailed historical or mythological scenes with great attention to beautified human anatomy (based on classical sculpture), geometric perspective and the balance of color and line.
His extraordinary talent did not go unnoticed and he was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1850, a three-year residency at Villa Medici in Rome where he was exposed to Renaissance masterpieces, classical styles and antiquities. He once said, "There's only one kind of painting. It's the painting that presents the eye with perfection, the kind of beautiful and impeccable enamel you find in Veronese and Titian," his greatest inspirations.
After his residency finished, he returned to France and his career took off. He was awarded several commissions, from allegorical scenes of the Four Seasons to grand battle scenes of Napoleon III, the emperor at the time. In 1863, his painting The Holy Family, on exhibition at the Paris Salon, was sold to Napoleon III and his wife Eugenie and hung in their Paris apartment. Imperial favor magnified the spotlight on him and commissions arrived from European royalty and wealthy Americans.
He was renowned for his precise, yet idealized renderings of the human form, created in adherence to his academic studies. His most famous works were often of classical or mythological women, such as the goddesses Aurora, Psyche or Venus, that were often detailed scenes of beautiful bodies in motion, a soft color palette and ethereal backgrounds. He always sketched his subjects before painting them, a lesson inculcated from years at Ecole des Beaux Arts.
Although he was very popular in his time, he was spurned by the Impressionists, who believed his work was too slick and polished and tethered to tradition. After his death in 1905, his work was largely ignored as modern art eclipsed traditional academic painting. He left behind over 820 paintings, which hang in museums worldwide, with his most famous works at the Musee d'Orsay.
His command of graceful subjects, precise form and classical themes have experienced a renaissance in the past few decades and his work has achieved millions at auction. The arrival of La Jeunesse de Bacchus, a large-scale celebration that highlights his classical background and close attention to accurate form and beautification, calls for a reconsideration of this French Salon master and his stylistic achievements.

Our goal is to help businesses automate customer acquisition, using technology to create more relevant, intelligent and personal buying experiences.
To help us achieve this, we're delighted to announce that Continually has been awarded a Grant for Research and Development.
The grant is delivered through Invest NI, a regional business development agency. They focus on growing the Northern Ireland economy by helping businesses compete internationally.
We believe that as conversational interfaces become a widely adopted part of the marketing mix, businesses will choose to deploy chatbots on their own websites, rather than relying on the capabilities of messaging platforms like Facebook.
There are many opportunities to make it easier for buyers to engage with a company using a chatbot. For example, by making the interaction more relevant, intelligent and personalised.
The creation process for building and deploying a chatbot is a large barrier for many. This is especially true for small businesses who don't have access to software development teams.
Our research and development is focused on how a combination of machine learning, decision-tree logic and brand customisation could help non-technical people create and deploy intelligent chatbots that lead to highly personal experiences.
This work is ongoing through 2019 and we'll share more details of what we achieved once the project is complete.
The funding for our R&D grant ultimately comes from the EU, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). You can read more about how the ERDF works to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the European Union on the ERDF website.

The historic town garden with its island location in the Hegauer Aach boasts old trees, exotic summer plants, works of art and a herb garden.
The historical city garden of the Hegaumetropole Singen is centrally located, yet at the edge of the city. The park, built in 1909 on an island between the river Aach and the Mühlenkanal, features old trees, exotic summer plants and a true flowering sea in spring. Here you can relax your soul, look for a secluded spot under the shade of the mammoth trees and observe waterfowl.
The new municipal park borders the Stadtgarten with its extensive grassy and perennial beds and extensive orchards. Since the Landesgartenschau 2000, there are works of art in lush greenery. In the park is the Schaffhauser Kräutergarten (open May-October from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm), which was donated by the town of Schaffhausen on the occasion of the Landesgartenschau.
In order to permanently preserve the Singen municipal park, the Förderverein Stadtpark Singen eV was founded in November 2001.

Home Economic Policy The Labor Prospect: Why Raising the Minimum Matters
The Labor Prospect: Why Raising the Minimum Matters
The government subsidization of low wages is expensive, the South is surging, and Howard Dean oddly equates unions with corporations.
by Justin Miller
(Photo: Jae C. Hong/AP)
Welcome to The American Prospect's weekly roundup highlighting the best reporting and latest developments in the labor movement.
(Compiled by Justin Miller-Edited by Harold Meyerson)
Welfare for Low Wage Employers
Government assistance helps millions of Americans afford health care, housing, food, and child care. Such programs have become the right wing's go-to scapegoat for budgetary bloat and government dependency. But a new report from the Economic Policy Institute shows that a large chunk of government-assistance spending is due to the prevalence of low-wage work in this country.
Contrary to conservatives' "Welfare Queen" narrative, the majority-66 percent- of people who receive government aid are working or in working families. That majority is even higher-almost 72 percent-when zeroing in on the non-elderly. And the majority of workers in the lowest rungs of the wage economy rely on public assistance. Sixty percent of workers making less than $7.42 an hour rely on government aid, the report finds.
So what would happen if Congress passed a $12 federal minimum wage by 2020? Public assistance spending would fall by $17 billion a year. For every $1 bump for workers in the bottom three wage-deciles, aid spending would decrease by at least $5 billion.
And while Republican control of Congress makes any movement forward on minimum-wage legislation highly unlikely for now, localities continue to take matters into their own hands. In Alabama, one of only five states that don't have a minimum-wage statute at all, advocates are working to pass hikes where they can. Several months ago, the city of Birmingham raised its minimum to $10.10.
Democrats have introduced legislation that would increase the minimum wage statewide. However, with the GOP in control of both chambers and the governorship, such bills are likely dead on arrival. But State Representative Napoleon Bracy is trying to pass a narrower bill that would increase Mobile County's minimum wage to $10.10, saying it would ease taxpayer spending on state assistance programs.
Meanwhile, a worker advocacy group in Silicon Valley introduced an initiative for the city of San Jose that would address another problem for low-wage workers: decreased hours. The group, Silicon Valley Rising, wants San Jose employers to be required to offer more hours to part-timers before hiring additional staff.
The State of the South
As Facing South finds, the latest BLS numbers show that Southern unionism is on a small upswing. The percentage of workers unionized in the 13 Southern states increased from 5.2 percent in 2014 to 5.4 percent by the end of 2015. Four states in the South-West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, and North Carolina-were ranked in the top ten nationwide for unionization rate increases. (For more, read Justin Miller's feature on labor's new organizing focus in the South).
But this moderately good news for workers is accompanied by some decidedly bad news. Right-to-work legislation is now all but a sure thing in West Virginia. The state senate passed the bill a couple weeks ago and the Republican House of Delegates is currently considering it. Should it pass, West Virginia law requires only a majority vote to override the Democratic governor's likely veto. The Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity is maintaining the pressure on Republicans to pass the bill, sending out pro-right-to-work mailers in the districts of two swing legislators.
When conservative Republican Matt Bevin won the governor's race in Kentucky in 2015, he joined the Republican-controlled state senate in pledging to pass right-to-work. But the Democratic majority in the House is proving to be a wrench in the master plan, and House Republicans seem wary of getting too far out on the issue. Republican House Minority Floor Leader Jeff Hoover said there's a lack of willingness from House Republicans to try to push right-to-work through the Democrat-controlled chamber. "It's just not something that's really on the top of our priority list right now," he said.
Unions and Corporations: One and the Same?
Former Vermont Governor (and liberal insurgent in the 2004 Democratic primary) Howard Dean befuddled many progressives when he attacked Bernie Sanders by equating super PACs fueled by corporate billionaires with unions' super PAC spending fueled by members' contributions and dues. Dean has been a prominent Clinton advocate in 2016. "For Bernie to say he doesn't have a super PAC … labor unions are super PACs," Dean said on MSNBC. "Labor unions are super PACs Democrats like, so we don't go after labor unions." Dean was referring to the super PAC funded by National Nurses United, one of Sanders's major labor allies, which has raised more than $2 million and spent more than $1 million to support him in the primary race.
Labor unions' political spending certainly has increased since Citizens United-in 2012, unions and their affiliated PACs spent $49 million compared with corporations and their PACs, which spent $60 million. And while labor unions can be criticized for many things, including how leaders spend members' dues, it's odd for Dean to choose this hill to die on. The corporate agenda is aimed almost entirely at increasing their bottom line, which increasingly grows at workers' expense; the organized labor agenda is aimed almost entirely at blocking those worker attacks.
At the Prospect…
Labor dispatches from the Iowa Caucuses:
Low-wage workers converged outside the GOP debate in downtown Des Moines to demand a $15 minimum wage and a union, part of the Fight for 15 movement's plan to become a political power player. Read more…
While Hillary has built a highly unified front of union support, some rank-and-file workers are organizing on the ground for Bernie. That duality will surely persist all through the Democratic primaries. Read more…
